The Sunflower original was sold at the DNFA auction in London. Very cool stuff indeed: The commercial value of Art in modern times set against the realities of urban life. It is kind of disturbing how people are making a living collecting bottles, you see their carts filled with them as they strive through the city, I always thought this was only an American thang, but now since the introduction of the bottle deposit you can see people fighting over 10 cents plastic bottles. A very efficient method of environmentalism.
AME72 is a UK graffiti artist who was introduced to the scene way back in 1985 after watching the film 'Beat Street'.
Over the last 22 years he has created pieces world wide, but is probably best known for his creative use of lego stencils which represent thought provoking and humorous images reflecting life in today's society.
His preferred use of medium is spray paint but he has also created intricate sculptures from sand, snow and metal.
Notable pieces include 'Where's the missing peace?' done on the Israeli security wall in Bethlehem, Palestine and 'Rooms for rent' done outside Buckingham Palace in London, which highlights the homeless in the UK.
